Thank goes out to everyone who
attended the spaghetti dinner fund
raiser, it turned out to be a lot of fun
with Denim providing the music.
September was a good month for
Receiving donations from a couple of
clubs. Our thanks goes out to the
Tehachapi Car Club and Cheers to
Charity. Our fund raiser dinner for
October will be Tri-Tip and all the
trimmings.
Our special guest will be Lisa Kroese
from Expert Estate Sales, she will
appraised any item that you bring in
or a photo of an item too large to
bring in. (One item per person).
Lisa will come in at 3:30 PM October
17, 2014 to appraise some of your
valuable keepsakes.
We voted to put Sparkletts water in
the center so in the coming weeks we
will get it done.

Tehachapi Senior Center
has a web site!
Thanks go out to Lewis Brown for the creation
of a web page for the senior center.
Visit us at:
www.tehachapiseniorcenter.com
You will find a copy of this newsletter during the
first week of each month along with membership
applications and other pertinent information.
The Senior Center SCOOP needs more
sponsors and for as little as $25 ($20 for
members), your business can be promoted
each month to over 1,000 readers who look
for the Senior Nutrition program menu,
locations for senior discounts at merchants
around town and articles of interest. Call the
center or contact one of the board members even if
it's just to JOIN your center that serves all of the
Valley with activities and services described on the
back page. Without YOUR HELP there can't be a
viable Senior Center - and remember, many
activities and the monthly dinners are open to
ALL AGES.
